9.3. C300 Controller module and IOTA replacement 
In Control Builder, perform a 'Load with Contents' to the controller. 
 
To replace a redundant or secondary controller module, perform the following steps. 
 
 
 CAUTION 
This procedure can be performed while on-process only if the module to be 
replaced is in the secondary role. 
 
We recommend that you proceed with extreme caution whenever replacing 
any component in a control system. Be sure the system is offline or in a safe 
operating mode. 
 
Component replacements may also require corresponding changes in the 
control strategy configuration through Control Builder, as well as downloading 
appropriate data to the replaced component. 
 
In Control Builder, open the primary C300 FB and select the Redundancy 
tab. Click the Disable Synchronization button to the auto-sync parameter to 
"Disabled." 
Perform steps 1 through 5 of the procedure to replace a non-redundant 
controller module. 
Load firmware which is the same version as was running in the old controller. 
The new backup controller will boot to ALIVE or BKUP. If the application 
image does not match the primary controller, it will be unsynchronized. 
From either the primary or secondary C300 FB Redundancy tab, click the 
Enable Synchronization button to initiate synchronization and allow auto- 
synchronization. 
The controller will now display a synchronized redundancy state. 
 
To replace a non-redundant controller IOTA board, perform the following steps. 
 
 
 CAUTION 
This procedure can only be performed while off process.
